Abstract

The Concept of Positive Youth Development (PYD) was formed in the 1990s and combined the concepts of resilience and plasticity of human development, and an interest in the strengths of youth. This concept was proposed as a result of a reassessment of previous approaches, which were focused on the prevention of negative phenomena in the youth environment and teaching youth life skills. From a PYD perspective, it is necessary to build on the priority of developing the positive opportunities and strengths of young people through their participation in society. Over the past 20 years, the PYD program has been widely adopted by the international community. However, there is a lack of scientific data on the application of this concept in Kazakhstan.The review looks at the Handbook of Positive Youth Development. Advancing Research, Policy, and Practice in Global Contexts (editors: Radosveta Dimitrova and Nora Wiium), published in 2021 by Springer International Publishing. This book reveals the concept of PYD in a global context, which will allow a more effective approach to the issue of youth development in Kazakhstan, both from the side of health care and from the side of education and social development

Radosveta Dimitrova, Nora Wiium主编:《积极青年发展手册:在全球背景下推进研究、政策和实践》。书评

积极青年发展概念(PYD)形成于20世纪90年代，结合了人类发展的弹性和可塑性概念，以及对青年优势的兴趣。这一概念是在重新评估以前的办法后提出的，这些办法的重点是防止青年环境中的消极现象和教授青年生活技能。从PYD的角度来看，有必要通过年轻人参与社会来发展他们的积极机会和优势。在过去的20年里，PYD项目被国际社会广泛采用。然而，缺乏关于这一概念在哈萨克斯坦应用的科学数据。检讨着眼于《积极青年发展手册》。在全球背景下推进研究、政策和实践(编辑:Radosveta Dimitrova和Nora Wiium)，由施普林格国际出版社于2021年出版。这本书揭示了PYD在全球范围内的概念，这将允许从保健方面以及从教育和社会发展方面更有效地处理哈萨克斯坦的青年发展问题
